Working at home have following -
1.No additional financial cost
2.Saving on gas and time
3.Faster response time in case of emergencies (once i had servers going down often,was waking up in 3am by cellphone uptime warning)
While having office have following advantages:
1.Separated private and business life (at home someone can always bother you and not respecting your work)
2.Real human to human contact
3.Office banter
4.Brain can work better due change of scenery(but again depend from person to person)
And here is good old comic probaly already seen by everyvone but it is good reminder:

The comics is quite spot on. I can compare both - used to prefer the office in the past, now I'm quite comfortable with both setups.
I guess working from home doesn't affect your productivity as much as long as you have no distractions there (meaning other people who have a hard time to respect that you actually work).
On the other hand working from the office can boost your productivity, if you work in the right team.
